MYL3 - myosin light chain 3 Gene

Homo sapiens

Also known as CMH8; VLC1; VLCl; MLC1V; MLC1SB; MLC-lV/sb

Gene ID: 4634 | Gene type: protein coding

About MYL3

Cytogenetic location: 3p21.31 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 3:46,857,872-46,863,444 (from NCBI)

This gene has 8 transcripts (splice variants), 316 orthologues, 4 paralogues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Restricted expression toward heart (RPKM 677.8).

Summary

MYL3 encodes Myosin light chain 3, an alkali light chain also referred to in the literature as both the ventricular isoform and the slow skeletal muscle isoform. Mutations in MYL3 have been identified as a cause of mid-left ventricular chamber type hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
